Quinnipiac vs. Marist Prediction

I’m on Marist here. Quinnipiac’s playing well and historically, Quinnipiac’s been a really good ATS team. However, Marist is flat-out rolling right now and is up there with Merrimack in terms of being the front runners to win the MAAC. I just think they’re the better team and getting a short price with the Red Foxes who are on fire at home sounds like a place I want to be. Give me Marist and the reasonable number in this one.
